Charles Jenkins and wife spent Saturday night at Allen Looks' down by Pleasant Ridge. Guy Daniels, Leonard Hays and Lee Meyers, the champion bronco drivers, were in this locality last Sunday. W e have seen the Barkley township robbery, the Keener township steal; what next will be 011 the bill in this county. There was a party held at Chris Morgenegg s Saturday night. A large crowd was present and all had a good time. I see in the paper called the Apologist where the railroad promoters are so jubilant that they rush into poetry. They sung a different tune after the first election, but let me correct their lines: The Gifford train is coming, She is heaving round the bend, __A-d>uffjiig and a blowing/ Loaded down with Gifford s slaves.
